The Life of a Teenage Drama Queen

Chapter 1 ~ Not moms cooking again!

Chapter 1~ Not moms cooking again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like food.

I really like food.

So if you expect me to go to a Chinese buffet and not get one....No , two of everything, then you must be as high as that house in the movie UP!

Alas, my love for food could only go so far when I bumped into a rough leather jacket while waiting to get my hands on a couple of California's finest spring egg rolls.

Unlike the average person, who would apologize and continue on with their sad lives , I decided to take a deep breath of the smell of the stranger i had just bumped into.

Then I took another.

And another!

Hey, can you blame a girl! It's his fault for wearing strawberry cologne....or maybe it was perfume?

Suddenly a voice snapped me out of La La land.

"I don't mean to interrupt this precious moment, but why are you sniffing me?"

I looked up upon the tall figure that i was previously admiring , and instantly was aware of the annoyed look on his face.

I suddenly burst out into a spring of apologies, "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I absolutely wasn't smelling you, I was just....wiping my nose on your shirt?"

The boy looked at me a little curiously , then chuckled while shaking his head.

"What ever you say."

I was about to respond with a snappy comeback , when the mystery boy decided he didn't care anymore and walked away!

The only problem with this is that i was subconsciously supporting all my body weight on him, so I fell face down on the floor the instant he moved.

"Hoy Coom bock!" I was trying to convince the boy to stay so I can offer him a proper apology , but when I fell a dumpling had miraculously found it's way into my mouth.

I lifted my body off the floor and looked around , only to realize the boy was no where to be seen.

I Wasn't up set though.

It just meant that there was more egg rolls left for me!

********************

Once my stomach was full of food , I drove my self back home.

While driving up to my house in my bright blue mini copper I realized three things;

1. There was a family hauling moving boxes out of a van into the vacant house next door

2. My car was low on gas , so I would have to make a stop by the gas station before school tomorrow

3. Going to the gas station meant that I would have a donut and hot chocolate (I don't like coffee) for breakfast tomorrow!

Okay so maybe the last one wasn't that important , but you get my point, we have new neighbors!

If this was the perfect romance novel, my new neighbors would have a son.
The sons room would also happen to be right next to mine , with a convenient window so we could talk. The son would also be that hot guy I saw at the buffet , and we would eventually fall in love and live happily ever after.

But this isn't a book.

No , it's just my pathetic excuse of a life.

So when I get a glimpse of all the children I let out a sigh of disappointment.

They all were girls of varying sizes , and only one of them looked to be my age.

Hopefully I could befriend the girl , cause that would be awesome!

Especially taking note of the fact that I have no friends ......

Oh well!

I stop thinking about my new neighbors and park my car next to my moms gold Honda.

I get out and lock the car , but not before I notice the smoke coming from the house.

Not Moms cooking again!

********************

"Hi mom!", I yell as I hang my keys on our key rack.

My mom pops her head out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"Hello Winter! Did you have fun at the park?" , she says , still grinning like a maniac.

Oh crud! I had completely forgotten that I told my mom that I was gonna go to the park!

You see, I was gonna go to the park , but then o drove by the buffet and I just couldn't resist!

"Um , you see about the park.....", I say shyly while biting my bottom lip, a weird little habit of mine.

"Don't tell me you skipped out on the park just to eat again!"

In response I let out a squeak that was barely audible , but if you listened close enough it would sort of sound like a Yes.

My moms smile quickly turns into a frustrated look, before it changes back to a smile just as fast.

"Oh never mind that! I just hope you didn't lose your appetite, because I finally cooked something good for once!"

Oh , that's why she's so happy.....

She leads me into the kitchen and gestures towards the stove.

On the stove is one of our steel pots that we never use, but for some incredible reason, still have.

I take the lid of the pot gently and when I have a clear view of what's inside , I begin to wish I haven't.

"What.Is.That." , I say slowly while staring at the green liquid and chunks in the pot. The sight its self is enough to make me want to throw up every thing I had just ate.

"It's Kung pao chicken, do you not like it?", my mom says this with a slight frown on her face.

"Oh no its not that! It's just that I'm really full from the food I just ate , plus I wouldn't want to eat Chinese food twice in one day right?" , I quickly say this knowing that it's a lie. If I had the choice to eat Chinese food twice or even three times in a day I'd take it!

"Okay then, I'll just save you some leftovers for tomorrow!"

My mom then goes back to the kitchen , and that marks the conversation as over.

If there was ever a good day to be kidnapped , it would be tomorrow.
